Don’t let Doug Ford’s Captain Canada act fool you; he’s as Trumpian as they come.

Ford government proposes FOI law change that would keep premier's records secret | CBC News Ontario is set to make Premier Doug Ford and cabinet members' records secret as it "modernizes" freedom-of-information laws, which critics say will dramatically curtail public scrutiny of the politica...

#Dougford is no different from Trump. He knows what he is and what he has done. He sees the writing on the wall and knows the law is coming for him and his cabinet when Ontario voters finally wake up and realise the extent of their venality and assault on the public trust.

That mushroom rolled a 20 for its charisma score. Gorgeous.

Not sure we should pathologize the willful series of acts and held beliefs that amounts to just being a bad person. It removes accountability.

He was deep in cahoots, alright. Him and Bibi both spend most of their time fondling one another’s cahoots.

Yes, a stain but not from without, not a mud-puddle spattering by a passing car, not a tipsy dribble of red wine down the front of its white shirt. This is a stain from within. This is the United States soiling its drawers in public and on purpose for the second time.

Lean into that limp, so to speak, and you should be a shoe-in for dismissal.

As a phrase, “The Great Satan” has a real ring to it, which has curiously grown on me over the years.

Ah, “The Prisoners of Dimension Zero”. I loved the total wacky weirdness of that story as a kid. Had it in a special DC Blue Ribbon Digest dedicated to Green Arrow.

I can only assume he is trying to test just how steep the downward slope on a poll can get.

He just looks so small in…I was going to say “comparison”, but there is no comparison. Time for Poilievre to gracefully exit the scene.

News of your demise will be met with the assumption that you have done Steve dirty, assumed his identity, and are living the envious neighbour’s dream life. Or vice versa.

Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say in ice.
Some say in a swarm of polar bears feasting on human flesh.
Lord, hear my prayer.

Pete, when people hold their noses in your presence, it is more likely that you are the source of that reaction than that you continually find yourself in a crowd of overly sensitive sniffers.

The model for the charismatic dumb-dumb figurehead for corporate interests and capital that they’ve been following ever since.

International murder and kidnapping as televised distraction for poll numbers and complicit media ratings. Elect an insane and weak-minded, D-grade reality television celebrity and criminal grifter as head of state and watch as coffers run dry and predictably disastrous results fall about ears.

Going to need to update this one, Mr. Prime Minister, to clarify your para. 5 position. I suggest enlisting some additional assistance on the redraft. I understand that times are challenging, the world is grey, politics is difficult and new to you. We need you to do better and believe that you can.

Still sporting my 30-year-old Gilmour jersey, which either makes me stuck in the past or cheap. My money is on both.

An ICE arrest and removal to third country I would be fine with.
